Jenna Slaughter
Speaker - Educator - Mental Health Advocate
Engaging and Inspirational
Jenna Slaughter is an inspirational speaker and Self-Love Coach helping perfectionists and people pleasers get out of cycles of self-sabotage, gain momentum and take off.
Growing up in a small rural town, Jenna was “in the closet” until college when their bisexuality went from a “minor inconvenience to be managed internally” to a full-blown crisis of self to be managed.
Almost a decade of healing later, they’ve turned into a human behavior and happiness nerd.
Thoughtfully and delicately they weave stories of grief, mental illness, and radical self acceptance to inspire and empower every audience to take inspired action and make the most of each day they have on this weird spinning rock.

“Professional, Prompt, and communicative”
Jenna is a gift to us all. Their love and passion for activism and creating inclusive spaces for all LGBTQ+ identities made Jenna a perfect fit to be a guest on Over the Rainbow. Their attention to detail, knowledge and willingness to learn and grow inspires me to be a better activist and person.
They were professional, prompt and communicative through the planning, recording and promotion of our episode. As a podcaster, this makes things leagues easier for me!
You could not hope for a more welcoming, wonderful figure to represent what it means to be a good human. They are a perfect ambassador for my work, and absolutely will change the game for your work too!

Be the example you didn’t have
In this episode of QueerHustle, Roberto sits down with self-love coach and host of The Unlearning Podcast, Jenna Slaughter. Through their podcast and coaching career, Jenna delivers a fresh outlook on emotions, communication and unlearning fear-based thinking. Jenna has had discussions on self-talk, relationships, personal development, radical self-acceptance, habit building, anxiety coping, authenticity and more! Today, Roberto and Jenna share a deep conversation about following your own trajectory, breaking the mold, empowering others and stepping into your authentic self.
Gatekeeping in the lgbtq+ community
In today’s episode, we talk about gatekeeping in the LGBTQ+ community. Within this topic we discuss what LGBTQ+ gatekeeping is, including distinguishing between good and bad gatekeeping. Predominantly, we aim to challenge thinking around the idea that there’s one way to be and open our minds to the idea that there should be no caveats on identity and belonging.
Each person’s identity within the LGBTQ+ community is perfectly valid, and we need to start challenging those who attempt to devalue folk for not being ‘queer’ enough.
Join us on this journey as we dismantle marginalising structures and foster a world of growth, fluidity and acceptance of all identities
Pansexuality 101 with Jenna Slaughter
In this episode, Jenna and I debunk some myths and stereotypes about pansexuality:
Pansexual is the same as bisexual
Pansexuals fancy everyone
Pansexuals just need to ‘pick a side’
‘Only pansexuals are attracted to non-binary people’
Pansexual = panromantic
Pansexual folk just want a threesome / pansexual people are also polyamorous
Pansexuality is a trend
Unpacking trauma, creating energetic boundaries, and embracing fluidity
We talk about my coming out journey and why its a-okay to change labels as you know and understand more.
Coming soon…

Life Uncloseted is a podcast that is all about saying “Stop it already!” No more mediocre living. Dreaming and not doing. Apologising for living your life your way. Host Rick Clemons – bold move badass, culture designer, and coming out expert – sez “Live Life Uncloseted dammit!”
Each episode he takes you on a brash, fun, and in your face, provocative storytelling ride that explores how to escape your bullshit, explore your fears, and unabashedly elevate your f*cking self-expression to live your LIFE UNCLOSETED.
